Daisies

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Anyone? Don't be shy - I'm asking for critique, so, if it's crap tell me that but explain why is it crap :)

I noticed that recently people leave mostly positive comments but we're here to learn from each other and I prefer to know what doesn't work in my image and always open for constructive negative comments. It won't kill me but next time I won't do same mistake (at least, I'll try)

G'day,
Oh, OK, I'll have a go :lol:

I like the first and third shots, particularly the third, the second I'm not sure about... I like the layout of #1 and #2, #4 just needs the distracting brick wall in the background cropped or cloned out.. #1 would have been tempting to remove the bottom and bottom right flower from the frame?

Did you change the colour of the lone flower or just a good catch :oops: I have to ask :lol:

Just trying to help :)

Cheers.
Aka Andrew

I really like #1. The one white daisy amongst all the purple ones does it for me. If you got rid of the scrunched up looking daisy just above the white one, i think I'd like the shot even more.

Thanks a lot for comments, guys!

Andrew,
I didn't change a colour of a white daisy it was just growing among the pink ones. Brick wall ... Actually, I was trying to add something with it to the picture but I'll try to crop it if you think it's distracting. And the same I'll try to crop the 1st to see if it works or doesn't

John,
It'd be real trick to accurately remove scrunched daisy but I'll give it a try when I have bit more time

I also liked number 1 the most (except for the "scrunched up daisy" which I thought might of been a butterfly on my first quick look :roll:

Next time though, maybe try a lower perspective...sort of to get a feeling of being amongst the daisies.
